One of our fans submitted a GURPS Arabian Nights adventure for RPGA tournament use, in which several of the PCs were gay. The RPGA rejected the adventure, citing their policy against "sexual themes" in adventures.We thought this was a little hypocritical, in that heterosexual love is a fairly common element in tournament scenarios (the knight is trying to win the love of the princess, that sort of thing). No actual sexual activity was described (or even hinted at) -- simply being gay was enough of a "sexual theme" to bounce the adventure.We don't agree, but the RPGA owns its events -- they can do whatever they want. But when they started telling their members that there were no SJ Games tournaments at RPGA events because we didn't have the time or interest, we got a little cheesed.For the record, Steve Jackson Games is ready and willing to provide adventures to the RPGA and do whatever else it takes to get our games run in their events -- as soon as they change that hypocritical policy. Anything they may say otherwise "just ain't so." We had looked for a change when WotC bought TSR. We haven't seen it.</blockquote>
